amatyultareChapter 17 – Back Down The Rabbit Hole
Sadie’s mom suggests that she try to get the part of Alice back, because she clearly misses theater and is the only one being hurt by her own ‘moral high ground’. Oh, and it’s mentioned in passing that Sadie told her parents about her reasons for leaving the show. I am choosing to believe that she skipped the whole MUSIC TEACHER POSSIBLY SLEEPING WITH HIS SIXTEEN YEAR OLD STUDENT and not that they heard about it and were cool with it, because I think I’m giving myself a rage migraine.
Swayed by her mother’s advice, Sadie calls the girl who took over the part of Alice and asks if she’d be willing to relinquish the role. Aimee, rightfully, laughs and declines.
However, Sadie still gets sucked back into the drama club by helping Adrienne arrange yet another song (this one is Sk8er Boi). This prompts Sadie to muse on how Adrienne is so comfortable and happy with herself, and how that should be her model for how to behave.
Adrienne is pushing Sadie to become an unofficial assistant director, helping them “unify the script, song and dance into one cohesive thing.” Mr. Ellison is apparently old-fashioned in his directorial approach (?) and Mr. Lord is more focused on flashiness than telling the story.
Sadie decides she’ll go for it, because “I was tired of being a walking zombie. I wanted to feel human again, and only the theatre could save me.” Ugh, this girl. But she’s going to stay backstage or in the back of the theater, because she wants it to be casual.
